iTunes-BPM adds a simple floating window to iTunes that allows you to set the beats-per-minute value for the currently playing song by tapping along to the music.

that assumes a sense of rhythm. t /arhythmic

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm guessing that after a period of time (say, ten seconds) all your rhythmic errors would average out to be pretty close to the correct bpm. (Dunno if the program actually works this way, but to me this makes the most sense.)

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Would a mac mini solve all my computer problems?

I'm just wondering.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What are the problems you want solved? The whole OS->browser->AOL access? Anything else?

Not sure. Check macintouch.com for the issues coming up with the new Intel mac mini. But, yeah, Mac OS is pretty stable and less often the target of viruses.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It sounds like Tiger would solve all or most of your computer problems.
